Adam, Thanks for fixing my faulty patch !

Here a recap regarding considerations on showing size in byte on the statusbar
as well for multiple files:

Originally the text for multiple files/folders was:
> 4 folders selected,  5 other items selected (61.9 kB)

Possible option 1:
> 4 folders selected, 5 other items selected (61.9 kB (61,897 bytes))
It looks like that if only thunar_file_get_size_string_formatted is replaced by
thunar_file_get_size_string_long. The double  parentheses IMO look a bit ugly

Possible option 2:
> 4 folders selected, 5 other items selected: 61.9 kB (61,897 bytes)
Problem here is, that the colon is stonger than the comma, which looks like the
size would include the recursive folder size.

Possible option 3:
> 4 folders selected, 5 other items with a total size of 61.9 kB (61,897 bytes) selected
Meaning is fine this time, however it would have a bigger impact on the
transifex team. Not sure if it is worth the effort.

Possible option 4:
Dont touch the statusbar string for multi-file selection at all. The downside
here would be, that the displayed size-info is inconsistent.

Adam is in favor of 4.
I rather would go for 3, but as well could live with 4.
